Fighter exercises to continue this week

The thunder you heard overhead on Monday was made by the jets of the 104th Fighter Wing, flying out of Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield, Mass.

They will be flying routine training missions over Southern Vermont for the rest of this week, according to Tech. Sgt. Lindsey Sarah Watson-Kirwin. The 104th flies F-15 Eagles and has, as one of its missions, protecting the Northeast from airborne threats.
